Good News! First Ebola Patient discharged in Lagos

Finally light at the end of the tunnel. The first Ebola patient to be confrimed positive has been discharged in Lagos.
The Minster of Health Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu confirmed ths saying the patient ,a female now tested negative.

He said .......
The EOC has advised me to announce that the first ‎Nigerian to be confirmed to have Ebola Virus Disease has this evening been discharged from the isolation unit at the Mainland Hospital, Lagos.
“I have consulted with the experts, and they said clearly that there was a discharge protocol that was employed for this particular patient. It has been followed strictly and was concluded today‎ and what you are getting now is the final outcome.“Ordinarily, if she had been afflicted with another illness, she would have been discharged long before now”.“The total number of confirmed cases of EVD in the country was now 12, with four deaths and 189 under surveillance in Lagos and six in Enugu,” “As you are aware, the patients under treatment have now been moved to the new 40-bed capacity isolation ward provided by Lagos State government. Additional equipment has also been made available to the new isolation ward by the Federal Government”.
  He also said Nanosilver (the drug which was to be used on Ebola Patients)failed to pass the ethical test, will not be used.
“You will recall that, last Thursday, I announced that we were ready to deploy an experimental drug, Nano Silver; it was not cleared by the National Health Research Ethics Committee.
“Although the drug has since been made available to the EOC in Lagos, it has not been administered on any patient because we were awaiting clearance by ‎the National Health Research Ethics Committee.
“I regret to inform you that the drug did not meet the requirements of the National Health Research Ethics Code. Accordingly, approval for its use was withheld by the National Health Research Ethics Committee.”

    1. Best news of today and thank God for the life of
      the Dr. But more information is required on how
      she recovered so rapidly and the others died.
      A case of a stronger immune system against a
      weaker one? The government should not be coming
      up with half details this time. To think her colleagues
      made a press conference few days ago claiming of
      none proper care for her and others and that they
      are very sick and suddenly she recovered shows those
      in charge of managing information are not getting things
      right and doing their jobs properly.

      #God answers all prayers#
      Happy moments - Praise God, Difficult moments-Seek God,
      Quiet moments -Worship God, Painful moments-Trust God,
      Every moment - Thank God.
